Federation's Women's Department presents

During the August recess, the JCPA
mobilized its members to meet
with their representatives in their
home districts nationwide.
On Oct. 25, the House considered
a version of the legislation that was
substantively the same as the first
one it approved, although in an
effort to win over detractors; lan-
guage was added to clarify that the
program would not finance health
care for adults, illegal immigrants
or high-income families.
Susskind said that in the time he
has been monitoring the S-CHIP
program, Congress has spent $17
million investigating whether ille-
gal immigrants are taking advan-
tage of the program and has found
only eight such scofflaws.
The Union for Reform Judaism
and the National Council of Jewish
Women also have been pushing
hard for the major boost in S-CHIP
funding.
The United Jewish Communities,
the national arm of the network of
local Jewish federations, also backs
the expansion of S-CHIP.

Answering
Israel's Critics

The Charge

The head of the U.N.'s nuclear
watchdog agency, Mohammed
El Baradei, criticized Israel last
week, referring to press reports
that Israel had bombed a secret
Syrian facility the Syrians told
him had nothing to do with
nuclear weapons.

The Answer

Israel has given no details on the
target of the reported Sept. 6 air
strike, but unnamed U.S. and
Israeli officials have suggested it
was a gas graphite nuclear reac-
tor being built with the help of
Iran and North Korea. Reports
also stated that the remains of
the site were demolished by the
Syrians to conceal any evidence
of its true nature.
